Sintering Additives for Garnet-Type Electrolytes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Solid Electrolytes for Advanced Applications

Abstract

Producing densified garnet-type solid electrolytes by lowering sintering temperature is an important target, which can prevent not only the lithium loss (controlling chemical stoichiometry) but also make it more compatible with cathode electrode materials. In this chapter, the use of sintering additives for enhancing the densification and microstructure of high conductive garnet-type solid electrolytes at low temperatures of ≤900 °C is reviewed. Sintering additives can modify the grain and grain boundary, both contributing to the optimization of the chemical and electrochemical properties of garnet-type solid electrolytes.
